    Extreme quadriceps starting pain after 3-4 rest days

    Hey Sisu, welcome to our unfortunate club! I totally feel you about the traffic accident you had as I had one myself in June this year (my fault, even though I have a lot to blame on that car driver I slammed into) and the psychological trauma ended up exceeding the physical one (a dislocated...

    Hi there Aengus, are you volunteering to prepare a form for a questionnaire to be uploaded / exchanged on the internet? Something like "Click on the link, fill it, submit it"? If this is the case I'm ok with filling it and support the initiative. Using usernames we shouldn't incur in any...

    Extreme quadriceps starting pain after 3-4 rest days

    Very good to hear this! I've done 3x 2h Z2 rides Sat-Sun-Mon and no problems. This week I'm going to try strength training (i.e. Squats) again and see what happens.

    Extreme quadriceps starting pain after 3-4 rest days

    I'm sure you know that this PITA can lead to Rhabdomyolysis for some people so if you see cola-like pee or if you have any doubt, go have yourself checked (CK, CPK, etc). This is basically the reason why, if I have an episode I don't dare exercising through but I wait to be back to normal...

    Extreme quadriceps starting pain after 3-4 rest days

    Thanks for sharing Dmart. Can I ask you where you're from? Just to know if it's northern or southern hemisphere and have a clue about the temperature. I also suspect something related to hydration / blood circulation could be a contributing factor Ok then, I guess I committed to put the data...

    Hi there everybody, another fellow sufferer from southern Europe here. ✔ Keen cyclist, 49YO, 180cm 70kg, ≈650h on the bike / year, and one year dealing with this sh*t. 🙈🙈 Unbelievable this thing goes on since ages without having discovered any solid diagnosis yet. Just wanted to express my...
